BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a light-emitting device and manufacturing method, and in particular to a light-emitting device with a structure of a light-reflective enclosure.

2. Description of Background Art

A light-emitting diode (LED) has the characteristics of low power consumption, low heat generation, long operational life, shockproof, small volume, quick response and good opto-electrical property so the LED has been widely used in a variety of fields demanded with light-emitting elements, such as automobiles, household appliances, and lighting products, etc.

There are several ways to convert the pure light emitted from LED to another color. For example, a phosphor layer covering on the LED can convert the whole or a part of light from the LED to another color. The phosphor is a substance of photoluminescence, also known as a wavelength converting material, and it can absorb a first light emitted from the LED and emit a second light different from the first light afterward. If the first light is not absorbed completely, the remained portion of the first light can mix with the second light so as to, form a mixed light of the other color. However, ratios of light intensity of the first light and the second light (a ratio of mixed light) under different view angles are different, and as a result, the color temperatures of the mixed light under different view angles are also different.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

To better and concisely explain the disclosure, the same name or the same reference number given or appeared in different paragraphs or figures along the specification should has the same or equivalent meanings while it is once defined anywhere of the disclosure. In addition, these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. Likewise, the relative sizes of elements illustrated by the drawings may differ from the relative sizes depicted.

The following shows the description of embodiments of the present disclosure in accordance with the drawings.

FIG. 1A illustrates a top view of a light-emitting device 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1B illustrates a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting device 100 from cross-sectional line A-A′ in FIG. 1A. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the light-emitting device 100 includes a light-emitting stack 120 with a top surface 124, a bottom surface 126 and a plurality of side surfaces 128, wherein the side surfaces 128 connect to the top surface 124 and the bottom surface 126. In one embodiment, the light-emitting stack 120 is hexahedral structure so as to have four side surfaces 128. However, the light-emitting stack 120 of triangular column, hexagonal column or other shapes is not limited by the number of side surfaces. A light-reflective enclosure 140 surrounds the side surfaces 128 of the light-emitting stack 120, and exposes the top surface 124. Referring to FIG. 1B, the light-reflective enclosure 140 has an upper surface 142 at a similar horizontal position with the top surface 124 of the light-emitting stack 120 and faces to the same direction therewith. The upper surface 142 has a plurality of fine concave structures 142 a distributed thereon. A wavelength converting layer 160 covers both the top surface 124 and the upper surface 142. In one embodiment, the wavelength converting layer 160 can fill the plurality of fine concave structures 142 a. Moreover, at least two contact electrodes 122 are formed on the bottom surface 126 of the light-emitting stack 120. For example, a positive contact electrode 122 a and a negative contact electrode 122 b separately formed on the bottom surface 126 of the light-emitting stack 120. However, the amount of the contact electrodes is not limited to it. For example, the amount of both the positive contact electrode and the negative contact electrode are greater than or equal to two. In another example, the amount of the positive contact electrode can be different from the negative contact electrode, such as the amount of one contact electrode greater than or equal to N, the other contact electrode less than N, wherein N is a positive integer greater than 2.

FIG. 1C illustrates a schematic diagram of light locus of a light-emitting device 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. First light L1 can be emitted from the light-emitting stack 120, and a part of the first light L1 can be converted to second light L2 during passing through the wavelength converting layer 160. The first light L1 and the second light L2 can be mixed within the wavelength converting layer 160 and then emitted out. A part of the first light L1 which has small angle can pass through the top surface 124 directly, and another part of the first light L1 which has wide angle can be reflected or scattered by the light-reflective enclosure 140 and be directed to a central area of the wavelength converting layer 160. The emitted first light L1 can be reflected by the light-reflective enclosure 140 and then escape away from the top surface 124 of the light-emitting stack 120. Therefore, by concentrating the first light L1 above the top surface 124 and reducing light escaped from the side surface 128, the non-uniformity of color distribution caused by a difference of a ratio of the mixed light above the top surface 124 and periphery of the side surface 128 can be eliminated so that the uniformity of color distribution under different view angles can be increased and the intensity of the small angle can be enhanced at the same time. The uniformity of color distribution under different view angles can be expressed in the term of Δu′v′ under different view angles, wherein Δu′v′ is a deviation between the chromaticity values of u′v′ and base values (u0′, v0′), and the base value means the average of chromaticity values from all angles. The greater value of Δu′v′ means the chromaticity value is farther away the averaged chromaticity value, and also represents worse uniformity of color distribution. If the wavelength converting layer 160 has a more uniform thickness, for example, a variation of a thickness and average thickness is less than 5%, the first light L1 from every direction can travel along a distance within the wavelength converting layer 160 more uniformly so the color of the mixed light is more identical. Furthermore, the upper surface 142 of the light-reflective enclosure 140 has a plurality of fine concave structures 142 a so that the light-reflective enclosure 140 and the wavelength converting layer 160 have larger bonding strength than that with a flat surface. Moreover, the fine concave structures 142 a can scatter light to increase the light extraction so as to increase uniformity of light and intensity thereof.

The light-emitting stack 120 can be a light-emitting diode structure that converts electrical power to light energy so as to emit the first light L1. In one embodiment, the light-emitting stack 120 is flip chip type light-emitting diode structure, and includes a growth substrate (not shown), a first semiconductor layer (not shown), an active layer (not shown), and a second semiconductor layer (not shown), wherein the growth substrate can be sapphire, the first semiconductor layer can be n-type semiconductor layer, and the second semiconductor layer can be p-type semiconductor layer. The contact electrodes 122 a/122 b are respectively electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, and electrically connect the light-emitting device 100 to external power source.

The light-reflective enclosure 140 can reflect the first light L1 emitted from the light-emitting stack 120 so of the emitted light of the light-emitting stack 120 is directed to and concentrated on the top surface 124. The light-reflective enclosure 140 can cover a part or the whole side surface 128 of the light-emitting stack 120. In one embodiment, because the light-reflective enclosure 140 covers partial or the whole side surface 128 of the light-emitting stack 120, the leakage of the first light L1 emitted from the light-emitting stack 120 from the side surface 128 is decreased. Moreover, the light-reflective enclosure 140 also covers a part of or the whole sidewall of the contact electrode 122, or is higher than the top surface 124 of the light-emitting stack 120 so as to decrease a leakage of light from the side surface 128.

A bottom position of the contact electrode 122 a and/or 122 b to the upper surface 142 has an average height, and the bottom position thereof to the top surface 124 also has an average height. The difference of above-mentioned two heights can be adjusted depending on optical properties. The average height is defined as the average of the height from the bottom position of the contact electrode 122 a and/or 122 b to the top surface 124 of the light-emitting stack 120 or the upper surface 142 of the light-reflective enclosure 140 which is measured by five positions separated with nearly the same distance from left to right. In one embodiment, a variation of two average heights is less than 40 μm. If the variation of two average heights is greater than 40 μm, a gap may be formed during the formation of the wavelength converting layer 160, the optical properties may be affected, for example, the total reflection may occur. Besides, it may induce the crack easily because the curvature of the interface between two average heights is too large.

The light-reflective enclosure 140 has a plurality of fine concave structures 142 a distributed on the upper surface 142, and the fine concave structures 142 a can be regularly or irregularly distributed. In one embodiment, a surface roughness of the upper surface 142 of the light-reflective enclosure 140 is greater than the top surface 124 of the light-emitting stack 120. In one embodiment, the surface roughness of the upper surface 142 has a value of Root-Mean-Square (RMS, Rq) greater than 100 nm at an area of 5 μm×5 μm. In another embodiment, RMS is ranged from 100 nm to 400 nm.

The light-reflective enclosure 140 can be composed of light-reflective material. In one embodiment, the light-reflective material can be titanium oxide (TiO₂), zirconia (ZrO₂), niobium oxide (Nb₂O₅), alumina (Al₂O₃), silica (SiO₂), magnesium fluoride (MgF₂), aluminum nitride (Al₂N₃) in bulk. In another embodiment, the light-reflective material is a light-reflective paste formed of above mentioned material mixed with a binding agent. The binding agent can be silicone resin, acrylic resin, or epoxy resin.

The wavelength converting layer 160 can include a transparent binder and a plurality of wavelength converting particles dispersed within the transparent binder, wherein the wavelength converting particles can absorb the first light to convert to the second light. In one embodiment, the first light to excite the wavelength converting particles is blue light emitted from the light-emitting diode, and a dominant wavelength is in the range of 430 nm to 490 nm. The wavelength converting particles absorb the first light to excite the second light which can be yellow light, and a dominant wavelength of the yellow light is in the range of 530 nm to 590 nm. The wavelength converting layer 160 can include wavelength converting particles of single material or multiple materials. In another embodiment, the wavelength converting layer 160 includes wavelength converting particles capable of emitting yellowish green light and red light.

The light-emitting device 200 includes a light-emitting stack 220, a light-reflective enclosure 240 surrounding the light-emitting stack 220, a wavelength converting layer 260 covers both the light-emitting stack 220 and the light-reflective enclosure 240. A bottom surface 226 of the light-emitting device 200 is formed on contact electrodes 222 a and 222 b and a reflective layer 280, and the reflective layer 280 surrounds the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b from the bottom view. Moreover, each of the contact electrodes 220 a and 220 b has an extension pad formed thereon, and the extension pads 228 and the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b are connected to each other respectively. A ratio of area of the extension pad 228 and the contact electrode 220 a or 220 b can be adjusted depending on the design of light-emitting device 200. In one embodiment, a surface area of the extension pad 228 is greater than a surface area of the contact electrode 222 a or 222 b so the extension pad 228 completely covers the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b. In one embodiment, a thickness of the reflective layer 280 is greater than a thickness of the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b so the extension pad 228 extending from the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b to the reflective layer 280 forms an inclined plane 228 a due to a gap of height. In another embodiment, the contact electrodes 220 a and/or 220 b and the reflective layer 280 is coplanar so there is no inclined plane 228 a in-between. The reflective layer 280 can include light-reflective material. Moreover, the light-reflective material of the reflective layer 280 can be the same as or different from that of the light-reflective enclosure 240. The reflective layer 280 can be formed by screen printing. The extension pad 228 is made of material with high conductivity, such as copper (Cu), silver (Ag), or gold (Au). In one embodiment, the extension pad 228 can be formed by plating copper.

FIGS. 3A to 3G illustrate a method of making the light-emitting device in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. First, a plurality of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c are provided. The specific structure of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c can be referred to above description. In one embodiment, the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c have the same or similar wavelength of light, such as ultraviolet light, blue light, red light, infrared light, and so on. Furthermore, at least one contact electrode can be preformed on the bottom surface of each the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c. For example, in a flip chip LED die, at least two contact electrodes can be preformed on the bottom surface of each the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c are fixed on a temporary substrate 110 through an adhesive layer 130. Two adjacent light-emitting stacks have a gap, for example, the light-emitting stacks between 120 a and 120 b and between 120 b and 120 c respectively have a gap 150 a and 150 b. One of the side surfaces, the top surfaces, and the bottom surfaces of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c can be exposed. In one embodiment, the top surface 124 a, 124 b, or 124 c and the side surface 128 a, 128 b, or 128 c of each of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c are exposed. Next, the light-reflective material 140 b covers the exposed surfaces of the light-emitting stacks, as shown in FIG. 3C. The formation of the light-reflective material 140 b can be molding, such as transfer molding or compression molding. If the compression molding method is adopted, the temporary substrate 110 can be attached to the first mold 172. Referring to FIG. 3B, an uncured light-reflective material 140 a, such as light-reflective paste, fills in the second mold 174 which has a recess that can receive the light-reflective paste. Next, the first mold 172 and the second mold 174 compress each other so the plurality of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c are embedded in the light-reflective paste. A shape of the light-reflective material can be confined by the first mold 172 and the second mold 174. In the current step and following steps, the light-reflective material 140 a can be cured and shaped by heat. The heating temperature can be adjusted depending on the property of the light-reflective material 140 a. Moreover, adjusting the amount of the paste or the pressure within the mold can control the thickness of the light-reflective material 140 b in demand. Referring to FIG. 3C, after curing the paste, the second mold 174 can be released so the cured light-reflective material 140 b covers the top surfaces 124 a, 124 b, 124 c and the side surfaces 128 a, 128 b, 128 c of the plurality of light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c. In one embodiment, the top surfaces 124 a, 124 b, 124 c are surfaces of growth substrates (not shown) of the light-emitting diode structures (light-emitting stacks) so that the light-reflective material 140 b covers the surfaces of the growth substrates of the light-emitting diode structures. In another embodiment, the light-reflective material 140 b covers the bottom surfaces (not shown) and the side surfaces 128 a, 128 b, 128 c of the plurality of light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c, and the bottom surfaces are surfaces of the contact electrodes, and the light-reflective material 140 b covers the surfaces of the contact electrodes of the light-emitting diode structures now.

Referring to FIGS. 3D and 3E, a part of the light-reflective material 140 b is removed to expose the top surfaces 124 a, 124 b, 124 c of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c and to form the light-reflective enclosure 140 c. The method of the removal of the light-reflective material 140 b includes wet deflash, such as water jet deflash or wet blasting deflash. The concept of the water jet deflash is to use a nozzle 192 to jet out liquid, such as water, to remove the light-reflective material 140 b by jetting pressure. A method of the wet blasting deflash is to use liquid containing specific particles to remove the light-reflective material 140 b by impacting the surface of the light-reflective material 140 b with liquid pressure and the particles. In one embodiment, the top surfaces are the surfaces of the growth substrates so that the surfaces of the growth substrates are exposed after removing a part of the light-reflective material 140 b. In another embodiment, after removing a portion of the light-reflective material 140 b, the bottom surfaces (not shown) of the light-emitting stacks 120 a, 120 b, 120 c are exposed, wherein the bottom surfaces are the surfaces of the contact electrodes. Therefore, the rate of removing the light-reflective material 140 b can be controlled by the intensity of the impact force between substances. Furthermore, a plurality of the fine concave structures on the top surfaces of a light-reflective enclosure 140 c can be formed by the impact force between substances.

Referring to FIG. 3F, after exposing the top surfaces of the light-emitting stacks and forming the light-reflective enclosure 140 c, a wavelength converting layer 160 a can cover the top surfaces of the light-emitting stacks and the upper surface of the light-reflective enclosure 140 c. The method of covering the wavelength converting layer 160 a can include coating method, laminating of heating press method, or molding method. In one embodiment, the wavelength converting layer 160 a is formed by laminating of heating press.

Referring to FIG. 3G, the light-reflective enclosure 140 c is separated by cutting the light-reflective enclosure 140 c so as to form a light-emitting device 100 with a light-reflective enclosure 140 d. In one embodiment, the light-reflective enclosure 140 c and the wavelength converting layer 160 b can be cut together after covering the wavelength converting layer 160 a. Therefore, a side wall of the light-emitting device 100 includes light-reflective enclosure 140 d and the wavelength converting layer 160 b. In other words, the light-reflective enclosure 140 d and the wavelength converting layer 160 b have a coplanar used as the side wall of the light-emitting device 100. The method of cutting can use a cutting tool by a blade 194.

FIG. 4B illustrates a cross-sectional view from the cross-sectional line I-I in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4C illustrates a cross-sectional view from the cross-sectional line II-II in FIG. 4A. Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, a light-emitting device 300 includes a light-emitting stack 320 with a top surface 324, a bottom surface 326, and a plurality of side surfaces 328, wherein the plurality of side surfaces 328 is connected to the top surface 324 and the bottom surface 326. A light-reflective enclosure 340 surrounds the plurality of side surfaces 328 and exposes the top surface 324. The light-reflective enclosure 440 includes an upper surface 342, an inner sidewall 348 a and an outer sidewall 348 b. Referring to FIG. 4B, the upper surface 342 of the light-reflective enclosure 340 is located on the same side with the top surface 324 of the light-emitting stack 320 and outside the top surface 324. A wavelength converting layer 360 covers the top surface 324 and the upper surface 342 together. Furthermore, contact electrodes 322 a, 322 b are formed on the bottom surface 326 of the light-emitting stack 320. Referring to FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the upper surface 342 of the light-reflective enclosure 340 has a convex structure 342 a and a flat region 342 b. The convex structure 342 a protrudes outward from the inner sidewall 348 a to the outer sidewall 348 b. Moreover, the convex structure 342 a is located on four corners of the light-reflective enclosure 340, and can be an arc-like structure. A height of the inner sidewall 348 a is lower than the height of the outer sidewall 348 b. Viewing from the top view (FIG. 4A), the convex structure 342 a and the flat region 342 b are located around the light-emitting stack 320 and the flat region 342 b is located between two convex structures 342 a.

The light-reflective enclosure 340 can increase the uniformity of color distribution under different view angles, and raise the intensity of the small angle. Furthermore, the upper surface 342 of the light-reflective enclosure 340 has the structure which protrudes outward from the inner sidewall 348 to the outer sidewall 348 b so as to increase the contact area between the light-reflective enclosure 340. Moreover, the wavelength converting layer 360 can raise the bonding strength therebetween.

FIGS. 5A to 5F illustrate a method of making the light-emitting device 300 in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5A, light-emitting stacks 320 a, 320 b, 320 c are attached on a temporary substrate 310, wherein the attaching method can be through an adhesive layer 330. Between two light-emitting stacks there is a gap. For example, the light-emitting stacks between 320 a and 320 b and between 320 b and 320 c have a gap 350 a and 350 b, respectively. After that, referring to FIG. 5B, the gaps 350 a, 350 b are filled by a dispenser 370 to form a light-reflective material 342′. Referring to FIGS. 5C and 5D, the method of filling the gaps by the dispenser 370 can fill each row and each column in order. In one embodiment, each row is filled first, and then each column is filled. Because crossing positions of each row and each column are dispensed repeatedly, a convex structure 342′a is formed at each crossing position, and a flat structure 342′b is formed between the convex structures 342′a and periphery of the side surfaces of the light-emitting stacks 320 a, 320 b, and 320 c. The method of filling the gaps is not limited to the above-mentioned method so the convex structures 342′a may be formed at all or a portion of crossing positions.

In one embodiment, viewing from the top view (FIG. 6A), the shape of the light-reflective enclosure 440 is hollow rectangle surrounding the light-emitting stack 420, and exposes a portion of the top surface 482 of the transparent protecting layer 480.

The light-reflective enclosure 440 of a light-emitting device 400 of the embodiment in FIGS. 6A and 6B can increase the uniformity of color distribution under different view angles and raise the intensity of the small angle. Furthermore, the transparent protecting layer 480 used to cover the wavelength converting layer 460 can avoid that material within the wavelength converting layer 460 from contacting water or oxygen outside so as to enhance the reliability of the wavelength converting layer 460.

The material of the transparent protecting layer 480 can use any material with properties of light transmitting and resisting external water and oxygen, such as silicone resin, epoxy resin, or glass.

FIGS. 7A to 7F illustrate a method of making the light-emitting device 400 in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 7A, light-emitting stacks 420 a, 420 b, 420 c are attached on a temporary substrate 410. There may be a gap between two light-emitting stacks. For example, there is a gap 450 a and 450 b respectively between the light-emitting stacks 420 a and 420 b and between the light-emitting stacks 420 b and 420 c. Moreover, the attaching method can use an adhesive layer 430. After that, referring to FIG. 7B, the wavelength converting layer 460 covers the top surfaces and the plurality of side surfaces the light-emitting stacks 420 a, 420 b, 420 c. In one embodiment, a wavelength converting film can be laminated on the light-emitting stacks 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c. At this time, the gaps 450 a and 450 b are not filled with the wavelength converting film. In another embodiment, the wavelength converting film fills the gaps 450 a and 450 b. Next, the wavelength converting film can be separated by removing a part of the wavelength converting film which is filled in the gaps 450 a and 450 b.

After that, referring to FIG. 7C, a transparent protecting layer 480 a covers the wavelength converting layer 460. In one embodiment, the transparent protecting layer 480 a fills the gaps 450 a, 450 b completely and forms a flat surface. In one embodiment, a closed enclosure (not shown) is formed on a periphery of the temporary substrate 410 and the adhesive layer 430, and then uncured material of the transparent protecting layer 480 a fills in the closed enclosure and covers the wavelength converting layer 460. After that, the material of the transparent protecting layer 480 a is cured. In one embodiment, a surface of the transparent protecting layer 480 a can be smoother by polishing after curing. The method of covering of the transparent protecting layer 480 a can be coating, laminating, or molding. After that, referring to FIGS. 7D and 7E, a light-reflective material can be formed on the transparent protecting layer 480 a. In one embodiment, the light-reflective material 440′ aligns with the light-emitting stacks 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c covered with the wavelength converting layer 460 and has a structure with a plurality of grids formed on the transparent protecting layer 480 a. The light-reflective material 440′ exposes a part of the transparent protecting layer 480 a and each of the grids corresponds to each of the light-emitting stacks. The method of forming the light-reflective material 440′ can be screen printing. Because the transparent protecting layer 480 a has formed a flat plane so the light-reflective material 440′ can be handled easily by screen printing. After that, referring to FIG. 7F, the light-reflective material 440′ and the transparent protecting layer 480 a are cut by a blade 490 so as to form the light-emitting device 400 with the light-reflective enclosure 440 and a transparent protecting layer 480 b, and the light-reflective enclosure 440 and the transparent protecting layer 480 b are coplanar to form a sidewall of the light-emitting device 400.
